Not since [[Pot v. Kettle]] has the [[Supreme Court]] presided over a more important case than '''Raccoon Tail v. Super Mario Cape'''. It held in its hands the rights of [[furries]], [[superheroes]], video game fanatics, [[Italy|Italians]], airline travel,[[idiot|Furbies]], giant anthropomorphic turtles, and bunnies that eat [[Dell]] computers. The pressure was intense. [[Sandra Day O'Connor]] is said [[to]] have fainted three times, and [[Antonin Scalia]] lost his lunch in the closing days. [[Guy Harris]] was disconsolate and took some time out to go surfing.

Beginning in [[Japan]], civil rights issues abounded with the release of Super Mario World. Two separate camps emerged in the populace, the purists who favored the Racoon Tail for flight and those who preferred the new cape enhancement. These different sides clashed in small skirmishes at first, but the violence soon escalated into cataclysmic proportions. The streets of [[Tokyo]] were covered in dead racoon-suited and caped bodies alike. The death toll was said to be in the millions. Obviously, something had to be done, and there was only one country that could handle it: [[America]].

Racoon Tail and Cape were each extradited as war criminals to the US and detained in [[Guantanamo Bay]], where they were beaten, deprived of sleep, andreligiously persecuted. This was, of course, in the [[1980s]], so no one really cared about human rights then. Finally, when their wills were broken enough to remain calm, they were brought into [[Washington DC]] and ushered into the Supreme Court.

Raccoon Tail and Cape were each extradited as war criminals to the US and detained in [[Guantanamo Bay]], where they were beaten, deprived of sleep, forcedto watch tapes of [[Richard Simmons]] doing naughty things, and persecuted with a fervour previously demonstrated only by the [[Christian|Christians]] during the [[Crusades]] (and by those fighting the many wars over the [[table]]).

Immediately,it was clear that the case would not go peacefully when Racoon Tail threw a glass pitcher filled with ice water at Cape. Cape responded by flying at Raccoon Tail's throat and wrapping itself around Racoon Tail, attepting to choke the life out of the appendage. Each side was restrained and drugged.

Line 27:

Line 29:

After nearly two months of deliberating, the justices were still no closer to a decision than they were when they started. They were ragged, sleep-deprived, nauseated by the constant horror stories produced by each side, and they hadn't seen their families in two months. Then, one fateful day, a new witness was called by the prosecution. This witness was Mushroom.

Mushroom claimed that, being with [[Mario]] from the very beginning of the series, and therefore having seniority, it should be allowed to take Racoon Tail and Super Mario Cape back to Japan with it where Mario himself would deal with them privately. The justices thanked Mushroom profusely, dismissed Racoon Tail and Cape into custody of Mushroom and declared the case closed.

It was revealed in early [[1992]] that Mario had no intentions of punishing the offending items. Rather, his girlfriend had been kidnapped by the wicked Bowser, AGAIN, and he needed to enlist the help of these two accomplices. The [[CIA]] is on the lookout for Mario, Mushroom or the two accomplices. Any information can be forwarded to [[John Ashcroft]].

The judges were brought in, the main judge being a Tyrannosaurus Rex and each side was heard. Raccoon Tail was upset at people constantly mistaking it for a raccoon tail as it is, in fact, a tanooki, a Japanese relative of the raccoon with much larger testicles. It cited several instances where Cape had offended it, referring to it as 'a dirty, smelly raccoon's ass-curtain'.
